So,
"Better lose it than remain ignorant!"

my all time favorite, soon to be incorperated in a backpiece of a big tree of life

"life is real life is earnest and the grave is not its goal
dust thou art and dust returneth was not spoken of the soul"

every time i read it it makes me feel
it makes my insides
it arouses some emotion that i cant quite pinpoint, on occasion it brings me to tears, but happy ones!

Good. I sometimes like being alone.

I am leaving a quote so that if, someday, someone happens to come-by he/she shall

Harder than Inspiration;
Its culmination lies
In glory or damnation."

Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody could draw wherever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a living breathing thing which belonged to everybody, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it's wet.

-Banksy
